He has potential, but I think the feeling amongst our fans was pretty split about him to be honest - I was never a big fan. He would make some decent saves and had a few excellent games (Mansfield away live on Sky, for one), but on the whole he was far too error prone for me. From his very first...

Sounds like we'll be making Matt Macey our first signing, a 29-year-old goalkeeper most recently with Portsmouth.

Mingi had a very stop-start season with us after joining in September. He had no pre-season, took a while to get up to speed and was in and out of the side due to injury and suspension so it was only really the last eleven games of the season that he properly featured. In that sense, it seems...

I had wondered if we might have tried to make a move for Long - we need a right back and Cowley signed him for both Braintree and Lincoln I think.

Bags and bags of potential, but is certainly culpable of trying to beat his man more times than need be. He started last season brilliantly, but quietened down a bit for a few months mid-season - I guess that is to be expected in a youngster's first full season, particularly as teams started to...

Blimey, that's depressing.

Sure he started with a drop ball rather than a free kick. Still should have been a booking, though.

If Bournemouth and Brentford can do it, then why can't Wrexham?

https://www.efl.com/news/2023/may/efl-and-sky-sports-broadcast-rights-agreement/ When they announced this last year, they said that the deal was worth "£935m over a five-year period", representing a 50% increase. "The uplifted element of the domestic broadcast deal is likely to be fed into the...

I doubt it will have as much of an impact to teams down here as it might seem at first. If every club is on 'at least' 20 times, that no doubt means most clubs in League Two will just be on 20 times other than whoever is winning the league etc. Looking through our fixtures just gone, 17 of them...

That is a big test for Bonner though, isn't it? He was a Cambridge fan who had worked there for years and was basically part of the furniture, working his way through many roles before landing the top job. This will be a totally different proposition, going into an entirely new club and with a...

I watched the Bromley Boys a few weeks ago (a reasonable enough watch to be fair) and although they were clearly awful and struggling at that level at the time, there were quite a number of sides in the Isthmian League with them at that time who have gone on to a good standard (Wycombe, Sutton...

Colchester is predominantly Ipswich, West Ham and Tottenham I would say, then Arsenal and Chelsea, then your typical population of Man United and Liverpool. Strangely, as you head further east away from London and into Tendring around Clacton etc I think it gets even worse for West Ham and...

Ah, fair enough. Appears to have been 2,600 for the regular season - reckon that will be circa 3,000 next year though with a few extra locals and away fans so no worse than Accrington, Harrogate and Salford. 2,600 is no worse than Aldershot or Rochdale who would be considered league clubs.

That applies across the south too, to be fair!

We won 4-0 at Bromley in the FA Cup a number of years ago, but I think there were three divisions between us at that point. I don't remember reading about them having any notable money or anything (?), so just sounds like a journey of steady progress to me. Fair play to them. Just looking too...

Our season ticket prices have been frozen, albeit with an extra 5% discount for anybody renewing one - so roughly an extra free game. Renewal price behind the goal is £323 and then £340 until the end of June. On the side we're still persisting with charging a different price for every block...

The law is no different for a goalkeeper as it is for any outfield player. So handball outside the box for a goalkeeper is a yellow card offence if it 'interferes with or stops a promising attack' and is a red card offence if it is 'denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring...

It isn't - the final is on Sunday 19 May. Our play-off final against Torquay in 1998 was moved to the Friday night though because England were playing a friendly on the Saturday against somebody like Saudi Arabia.

From what I've read in the past couple of weeks I thought it sounded like there was a fair chance Clarke would walk if they dropped.
